What policies does he have to rescue America from financial purgatory? Government debt is rising, unemployment is high, the Federal Reserve is printing money by buying "mortgage backed securities" from the banks but they are using it to buy government bonds rather than lending it in the market place. The housing market is flat and consumer confidence has flatlined.

So far we have heard that if elected he is going to cut government spending on social welfare schemes and reduce the public service. Check, this will reduce government spending but not enough to cut back the rising deficit.

However he is also going to reduce taxes which will reduce government income.

As coverage of his campaign has been rather scratchy here downunder. What policies has he announced that will increase production and employment, reduce borrowing and start paying down the deficit while at the same time lifting employment and improving the quality of life for American citizens. Is he really the saviour some are painting him as?

Please note. This thread is about Mitt Romney, his plans and policies, discussion as to whether they are practical and viable and how they will be/should be applied. Off topic posts will be "Red X'd". If you want to bash his opponent please use one of the other threads available for this purpose.

He has made it specific that he has no Specifics to his plan at this time, other than cutting taxes to the wealthy once again. We see how well that has worked, again.

He complains that to make specifics public would open his plan to "ridicule" and some might say, actual scrutiny. That has to lead one to believe that the specifics are going to be incredibly unfavorable and unpopular to 99% of usIn a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

As a retired, parasitic freeloader I would anticipate big changes in my modest standard of living. Reducing medicare, as BAZ has often noted, will really help with the Soc Sec issue. As Mitt has stated a large portion of the population thinks they are entitled to health care. With Paul Ryan's council he will do his best to "fix" that.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Not only do they think they're entitled to health care. They have the hide to think they're entitled to food as well.

Was this bloke elected the Republican candidate by Democrat "Ring Ins" ? Surely out of 150 million potential candidates the GOP could have found someone with at least 2 brain cells to rub together.

There's a difference between intelligence and wisdom.
A number of candidates from both major parties over the course of my lifetime have been/are highly intelligent people.
There's only been one that that has not been said about, that I can recall, in my lifetime,

I think Mitt will save America by continuing to run a singularly inept campaign which will tilt the election away from Teapublicans -- not only for President, but also for the down ticket (Senate, Congress and state offices). If that happens it would be the most patriotic thing Romney has done in his life.

I've noticed several prominent congressmen in key battle ground states stepping away from Nitt and his commentsIn a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

Just goes to show that the party as a whole need to get rid of the teapublicans once and for all.

Im sick of the attack adds though. Dont tell me why the other guy sucks. Tell me what you can do!

You know I might be inclined to vote for Jessie in 16.

Mitt has made a point of not having a stance on anything. He's been a moderate/liberal proabortion republican in Massahoozits to his current Teapublican appearance. All the while not really having any true conviction one way or the other.

It appears his only desire is to get what he wants. Sadly what he wants isn't necessarily what 300 million others really needIn a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

Reid aside I still want to see how a multimillionaire can have virtually the same tax rate as I do.

Guy the Goof or whatever he goes by these days asked what part of the tax code I'd change to end loopholes. I'd examine Nitt's Filings and eliminate anything he used.In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

I think Misfit is more of middle of the road guy. Reid was overboard on the no taxes thing. However, it did get Nitt motivated enough to produce something. I think that was the purpose of that exercise. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
